A.D. takes a Whiz (job)

"Who wants my number? Noel Felix? Kaniel Dickens? Anyone?"

We knew this was going to happen, but it still hurts.

According to the P.I., Antonio Daniels will sign with the Washington Wizards today:

Backup point guard Antonio Daniels, a key player in the Sonics' run to the Western Conference semifinals this spring, has agreed to a five-year contract with the Washington Wizards, ESPN.com reported late Tuesday.

Daniels, an unrestricted free agent, agreed to a deal worth an estimated $30 million, according to the Web site.

Daniels, 30, spent two seasons with the Sonics. He joined the team as a free agent on July 19, 2003. After averaging 8.0 points and 4.2 assists per game in 2003-04, he increased his scoring average to 11.2 points last season.
